Why did you choose to support Windows Phone instead of Android? With limited resources it seems like a waste of time for such a small percentage of market share.
That being said, I don't think the concept is as bad as others are making it out to be. As a college student, I know TONS of people who sell everything from textbooks to notes (might be a good pivot). Problem is, with the introduction of groups for universities, we have preset groups for stuff like this.
One thing I am worried about is a potential spam to groups that I'm in, which would only make me resent your project.
Students and moms are the exact focus group for this app. We decided to support Windows Phone for couple of reasons.
- Prevalence of Windows Phones. Dont laugh but I am in Seattle and with tons of Microsoft employees most of our beta user base had them.
- Android dev cost. Between screen resolutions, ramp up on environment etc I decided on punting this for now. We are planning on outsourcing this app to a vendor (the API's and UX would be very comparable to iPhone so that part is covered)
Since you are a student, would you mind if I contacted you for testing this among your friends? When you say a group exists, does that mean a groups outside of facebook?

Good luck!
